Great dining hall. Plenty of good food options, lots of seating, and the space is well maintained. Food is self-served, so portion sizes aren’t an issue if you want more of a particular item.

The food here is so bad. Greasy, not many options, not flavorful at all. “It tastes like nothing. It tastes like soil in my mouth.” according to my fellow. Got food poisoning here, could barely walk after. Bread had mold on it. Pizza was raw. Had to have desert for food. Avoid at all costs!!

Worst food poisoning of my life. Tasted like Jonathan himself vomited into the green beans. Moldy bread, 4 day old veggies. Really makes me sad as a paying student. The one guy who says “SupDup” at the dining hall is really cool though. Props to him for making my otherwise putrid experience a little better. #sickhusky

★★★★★ 5.0 Jacob O'Reilly · Sep 2021

A solid dining experience. Always plenty of seating which is nice, as well as generally a good variety of food. It is a dining hall, so it suffers from the occasional lack of certain food or silverware, but no more than any dining hall. The lactose and gluten-free options are easily obtainable and solid, and the staff is nice. A lot of people I've talked to believe it is the best dining hall on campus, and I would have to agree. The two floors also helps if you're in a rush and don't want to wait in the main floor line.

★★☆☆☆ 2.0 Singular McNugget · Aug 2021

Came here for lunch because I heard it was the best dining hall. Uh let's just say the food has never spoken to a grain of seasoning. Honestly if you like bland food come here, but it's pretty bland. McMahon and South are definitely better, I haven't tried North or Northwest yet so I can't say how it compares, but yeah, I don't think they even put black pepper on their grilled chicken.
